When speaking with Jacquelyn, the inaugural winner revealed her plan for spending her prize money.
“I’m very excited to use some of the money to take my family on a fun vacation this year! I’m currently in the planning process and open to any suggestions,” she said.
“After that, the money will help me pay off some bills (New York City is an amazing but expensive place!), and student loans, and the rest will go into savings and investments.”
Now that she is a champion of trivia, Jacquelyn also gave her best tips on how potential future contestants can walk away withthe cash prizeas she did.
Jaquelyn said, “The word ‘pass’ is your best friend. It’s easy to forget when you’re up there dueling that you can pass on a clue. Yes, you lose three seconds, but that three seconds may be less than the time you waste throwing out incorrect answers.”

“If I didn’t immediately recognize a clue I’d give it one guess, maybe and then instantly pass. Duels are a race against the clock so don’t be afraid to pass and talk quickly! An extra “umm” or long pause before answering could cost you.”
